Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell

This Wednesday evening promises thrilling All-Weather racing action from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The highlight of the evening is the Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes, where three inexperienced yet promising colts are set to clash. Goldinthesea, recently transferred from Joseph O'Brien's to Ed Bethell's stable, shows potential after an impressive performance at Dundalk in January. His form has been reinforced by the third-place finisher's subsequent win, suggesting a bright future for his new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting contender who bolted to victory at Southwell last month and seeks his third consecutive win. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, having only raced once at Wolverhampton in December, remains an enigma with considerable room for improvement. Debutant Shadow Boxer, purchased for €520,000, represents Victorious Forever, and his market performance will reveal more about his capabilities. Another closely contested race is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, featuring three recent winners. Cool Molly, with a three-pound increase after her win at the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, is a strong contender. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors, and Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, both have unique profiles and are lightly raced, making this a fascinating matchup against the race-fit Cool Molly. The evening concludes with the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap, where Seven Fires attempts to secure a hat-trick in her fifth career start. Having shown versatility in her wins at Newcastle, she faces stiff competition from top-rated Barefoot Beach, seeking to bounce back from a recent defeat, and Zighy, who has not finished outside the top three in any of her five starts.
